Chapter 294 Conspiracy
Chapter 294 Conspiracy
In the southern part of the French Empire, the new Grand Duke of the Southern Territory sighed deeply as he looked at the intelligence in his hands.
Ever since the Yinglong Army swallowed up the eighteen countries of Chiko, he has not had a single day of peace, fearing that they would attack at any time.
I am not an old noble, and there is no demigod guarding my family.
And even if there is a demigod, the Clarkson family will still be destroyed overnight.
Deep down, he doesn't really want to be in this position, but when you are in a high position, the people around you will push you to keep moving forward.
When he came to his senses, he was already sitting in this position. As for how much he was willing to do this, only he knew it.
"Honey, why are you still here?" A charming woman wearing a thin and transparent long gauze came over. As she walked, the fruits in her hands looked particularly tempting.
"Who are you?" Bertrand Gonzalez, the new Grand Duke of the South, asked coldly.
"I'm your wife Olivia." The woman covered her chest with her hands, looking sad, but more of her body was exposed. "You don't even recognize me?"
The voice was mournful, and anyone who heard it would want to bully this mature beauty.
But Bertrand was unmoved. To be able to sit in this position, his intelligence must be far superior to that of ordinary people. There was murderous intent in his tone: "My wife would never do such a bitch-like thing!"
"Can't I change my style occasionally? Ok, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
The woman wanted to continue pretending, but when she saw Bertrand draw out the sword beside him, her charming and seductive temperament immediately disappeared, and then she revealed the dignified and elegant temperament of a lady.
The woman straightened her posture and said, "My Lord Duke, do you want to completely destroy the Yinglong Dynasty?"
The knife that was about to chop down stopped there, and Bertrand's face was gloomy. He knew that the man in front of him was definitely not a good person, but the Yinglong Dynasty was his mortal enemy.
Sheathing the knife, Bertrand said, "Tell me, what do you want?"
"We don't want anything. We just want Emperor Yinglong to die!" said the woman, lifting her hair.
Emperor Yinglong? Bertrand was silent. The Emperor Yinglong the woman was talking about was naturally the ruler of the Yinglong Dynasty, Yaxiu.
"What do you want to do?" Bertrand asked.
"All you need is to help us set up a plan." The woman smiled.
Ash looked at the information in his hand and tapped the table with his fingers. He did have a plan to conquer the French Empire.
But that was after the godslaying. However, since they were so eager to die, it was not impossible to fulfill their wish.
This saves us the excuse to mobilize troops.
Collaborating with evil gods is not a very legitimate reason.
In November of the Iron Year 1243, the domestic situation in the French Empire had changed dramatically in just a few months.
First, there was a plague, and then there was oppression from the nobles, which led to a popular uprising. The war spread throughout the entire French Empire. To outsiders, it looked like a building on the verge of collapse.
But Ash was also very clear that although it looked like a raging fire, it was actually not hot at all and was waiting for him to enter.
According to the plan, they would lure him in with a conflict.
A golden order was issued from the former Sun Palace, now the Yinglong Palace, and fell into Yi Su's hands.
Black Orchid City, a city originally famous for a kind of black orchid.
However, now because it is located at the border between the Yinglong Dynasty and the French Empire, it has become an important military city, with tens of thousands of Yinglong troops stationed here.
Because the French Empire and the Yinglong Dynasty had not yet fallen out, the two sides maintained a friendly attitude on the surface and daily trade was proceeding normally.
However, this friendly side is destined to be torn apart today.
At first it was just a quarrel between two vendors, but after one of them started fighting and blood was drawn, the situation began to escalate rapidly. By the time the security team arrived, it was already a fight involving hundreds of people, and someone had been killed.
The life of this person happened to be that of a nobleman. Upon learning that his most outstanding son had died tragically, the nobleman was naturally furious and prepared for revenge.
At night, when the moon was high and dark, a group of about twenty or thirty people rode fast horses to a small town.
"Captain, isn't it a bad idea for us to do this?" a young man asked the mature man in the lead, with reluctance in his words.
Because the next thing they were going to do was to massacre the town.
"How could I not know?" the man said in a low voice, "But it was the master who gave the order!"
Young man, shut up. This is how private soldiers like them who are dependent on the nobles are. Everything comes first according to the orders of their master.
Even if he refused, he had to think about his wife and children at home. Those noble lords were not good people.
It is not uncommon for people to take out their anger on the operatives if the mission is not completed well.
"Ready!" The man raised the knight's gun in his hand.
The team members behind him also put on their helmets and prepared for action.
"Kill!" The man pointed his spear, followed by a series of sounds of breaking through the air.
Strange, shouldn't they be charging? Why did they shoot arrows first?
The man was confused. Although they brought bows and crossbows, they were not going to use them right away.
puff!
A sharp pain came from his heart. The man looked at the arrow on his heart, and then he suddenly realized that someone else had shot the arrow first.
puff!
Before he could think more, a powerful crossbow pierced his forehead.
boom!
The man fell from his horse and fell to the ground, dead.
Not only him, but also his team members fell to the ground one after another.
Under the sudden rain of arrows, this regiment that came with the order to massacre the town was completely destroyed.
"Take him away." An Yinglong guard walked out of the darkness and waved his hand.
The Yinglong army filed out and quickly cleared the area.
On the other side, in another manor, a middle-aged man said respectfully to a woman: "Special Envoy, I have completed everything you requested. Do you think so?"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man looked up with a look of longing on his face.
The charming woman opposite him also covered his face with her feet and said with a sweet smile: "Good dog, here is a reward for you."
"Yes, woof!" The middle-aged man immediately began to lick the woman's feet with an obsessed look on his face, and he licked higher and higher.
Looking at the middle-aged man who was really like a dog, the woman couldn't help but giggle. She loved the way these high and mighty nobles gave up their dignity at her feet.
With a slight force of the foot, the middle-aged man was kicked aside, but he immediately crawled over on all fours to lick.
Looking at the middle-aged man who had no personality at all, the woman's laughter became louder.
Then, it was daybreak.
A ball of fire fell from nowhere, and in less than one hundredth of a second, men, women, and even houses were burned to ashes, leaving no trace of ashes.
"Kill them all!" A cold voice sounded, and countless Yinglong soldiers poured into the town and slaughtered all the people in this noble manor.
